I wanted to share a little story with you guys that I think you all might appreciate since JJ meant something to everyone here. It is amazing how I never met the guy in person, yet he probably saved my life.
After he announced that he had cancer in his esophagus, I reached out and chatted with him about things. In the conversation we talked about what he had been feeling to make him get that checked out. He told me that for a long time leading up to that he was having problems swallowing food, that it became tighter in his chest going down. He thought nothing of it, but then he started having some other problems which lead to getting it looked at. The cancer was discovered and it turned out the swallowing problem was the first sign things were developing.
My whole life, especially when I was a cop and lunch was "eat it now, taste it later", I ate quickly and would never NEED to drink anything...usually just drink after I was done eating. Couple years ago I noticed that once in awhile food would get a little clogged going down, but wasn't all the time and wasn't a big deal. Then it started happening more often. Then how bad it would get clogged started getting worse. It got to where I was needing to take a drink every 3-4 bites. At first I just chalked it up to getting a little older and a little fatter, and also my dad having similar type issues his entire life so maybe I was just having it too. But I also remembered back to my conversation with JJ and what he had felt. But as things got worse and after being stubborn and giving it some time to "get better", that conversation I had with JJ got louder in my head.
I went to my doc, who sent me to the doctor that does scopes. As I was getting prepped to go under for my first scope, the two nurses thanked me for coming in. They said most people ignore the early symptoms and then its usually too late. The doctor said I have something thats a huge word I can't spell or really say, something with esophagus in it, but its called Barrett's disease for short. The biopsy was negative, and he said he believed it was all in the very early stages of development. I was put on a pill and within 2 weeks the food clogging was gone. I had to have two more scopes done in the proceeding months. The last one was in December. The biopsy was still negative and the numbers with it were unchanged. He said there are three levels with this and that I'm in level one, which has damage to the esophagus (which was caused by the flap at the bottom of the esophagus not closing and stomach acid coming back up...basically severe heart burn but for some reason I rarely felt it which is somehow not uncommon), which he said is the pre-cancer level. The doctor said had I not come in when I did that we would be having a different discussion. I don't even take ibuprofen, so taking a pill forever wasn't very thrilling. But that little guy should keep this thing from growing into something worse, which I get to go have checked every 3 years now with another scope. The good news is that by then I will be 45 and can start having the other end scoped, which the nurse said they can do both while I'm out. I just asked that they do the esophagus scope first before the colon check.
With all that said, I know I would have put this off for a much longer time had I never talked with JJ about it. I hate that it took his life. I really wish it could have been beaten. He's also the only person I know that had cancer in the esophagus. And because he took on that fight and opened up about it, I truly believe that he saved my life. Theres just no doubt in my mind that I would be facing a different future had we never chatted, had he never got sick, and for at least that reason it wasn't for nothing.
I don't know, I guess I just wanted to share that with you guys. Crazy how I owe so much to someone I never met in person.
